Cave Crawler: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 22:43, 21 March 2016

Template:Infobox:Fauna Flora The Cave Crawler is an aggressive life form that can be located on the Aurora, on the Underwater Islands, in the Mountain Island, in the Dunes and around the Abandoned Seabase on the Floater Island. It is typically found in groups.

Appearance

The Cave Crawler closely resembles the real life crustacean, albeit a small one. It has a large, bioluminescent cyan membrane covering most of the top of its body. It has four, light tan colored segmented legs, along with the underside of its body.

The Cave Crawler has two mandibles on its head, which are presumably used for feeding.

Behavior

The Cave Crawler is semi-terrestial, but it cannot swim, rather walks and jumps around underwater.

It moves in groups. When being approached, it lunges towards the player to attack.

It is also capable of climbing onto the walls and ceilings of caves.

Data Bank Entry

Agile, territorial carrion-feeder.

Four legs: Used to walk along the seabed and cling to walls. Equally well adapted for land.
Gas exchange membrane: Absorbs essential gases from the air or water.

This species seeks out corpses in packs, before defending its claim while the corpse is devoured.

Assessment: Inconvenient, particularly at funerals

Trivia

There is a larger relative of the Cave Crawler called the Blood Crawler that lives in the Blood Kelp Caves.
These creatures bear a great resemblance to the spider creatures from the movie Lost in Space: They have disc-like bodies, they're hostile towards the player, and they roam around a derelict terraforming ship; much as the creatures from the movie roam the Proteus, another derelict ship that appears to have items on board for colonizing a new planet.
The Cave Crawler used to be blue, to fit into the Aurora's color scheme. But, as the cave crawler was moved to other areas such as the Underwater Islands and the Dunes, the color switched to brown to match with the seabed.
The Cave Crawler is a semi-terrestrial creature which cannot swim, which may prove that it is a terrestrial animal as opposed to it's common belief as a amphibious animal.
Although the Cave Crawler appears to be a crustacean of sorts, it can also be compared to a disproportioned insect.

-* The '''Cave Crawler''' possesses a cyan membrane; atop of it, which is referred to in its Data Bank Entry. The entry states that the membrane "absorbs essential gasses or water" and as the term 'gas' is used before the term 'water'; it is likely that the '''Cave Crawler''' ''is'' in fact of a terrestrial origin.
